Lately I've been sewing for my girls. My friend gave me a bag of clothes that were headed to DI (don't ever get rid of clothes). I looked through all of them and picked out some that I wanted to start with. Here are some things that I made.
Here are some shorts that I made for Shelby. Addie is going to get a pair just like them. These were made from a pair of pj pants.
I don't know why these pictures didn't turn but I made this dress out of a man's shirt. It had an interesting pattern to it. I added a little ribbon in the front to make it look cuter. Shelby loves it wear it.
This was a shirt that I cut in half (width wise) and reattached it. I then cut it up the front and sewed it up to make a shrug. Now, if I can keep Shelby from taking the ribbon out every time she wears it that would be great.
I just realized that all of the projects I've been working on have been for Shelby. My next installment will have to be about Addie.
This skirt is something my mom bought at DI. We thought it was so pretty we couldn't pass it up. It will make a really pretty dress for . . .Who? Shelby. Here is what I'm thinking. http://www.vanessachristenson.com/2009/09/tutorial-dress-made-from-skirt.html

How cute! Poor Allie doesn't have a talented mom! I can't wait to see the skirt/dress, that will be so cute. (And I might have to have you make me one!) Your kids are getting so big.
I had no idea you could sew! You are really talented! I love the shirt dress. Totally cute. When I see all the cute things people make when they sew it makes me wish I knew how. But I don't own a sewing machine and I have little to zero patience. If I HAVE to make Andrew a Halloween costume some day then fine I can do it.
Sewing is easy. It just takes patience!
You are so talented. I cant wait to see what you make out of that skirt. Its gonna be cute!
You've been a busy little seamstress! Great job!
I love your refashioning projects! Great ideas. Thanks for sharing! My daughter saw the shrug and wants one asap:)
